Yet one of our tenets for relativity theory is that you cannot accelerate an object to the speed of light.
The gravity of relativity theory was brilliant at explaining why planets orbited suns or why galaxies tended to cluster, but turned out to have no influence at all at the particle level.
They may, in the ordinary course of investigation, find a way of linking quantum theory and relativity theory to make a truly efficient miniaturization device, but that might take a very long time.
It seems, however, that he was mistaken in his concern about the correlation violating relativity theory, because so far it appears that it does not.
One part of the relativity theory says that mass and energy are only different forms of one and the same phenomenon.
Distance can always be conquered by speed, but the prevailing relativity theory of that day had laid it down as natural law that nothing material could ever go as fast as light, which itself took many years to go from one star to another.
There had been another relativity theory under study, by a British astronomer named Milne, which taught that the speed-of-light limitation was only a mathematical convenience, not a natural law.
This, of course, described all the experimental work carried out on Earth through the previous century and interpreted in terms of relativity theory, which had pronounced the limit on velocity to be universal.
